#qalipus reach back two hundred years and find one possible Native ancestor to race shift to Mikmaq. none even remotely have a Native phenotype. their status was not based on blood quantum.
a white settler with 2 percent Indigenous blood &less have Indian Status with #qalipu
a white settler with 2 percent Indigenous blood &less have Indian Status with #qalipu
this is part of the supplemental agreement between the feds and qalipu- to cull members. they had over 100k white newfied apply for Indian Status. the feds wanted to sign up some white newfies- maybe 10k- but then they heard about tax exemption- so over 100k race shifted
but also just talk to a qalipu. ask them about blood quantum. you may get a question about what blood quantum is. they are so ignorant and know so little about Indigenous issues and rights- they dont realize Status Indians have had to follow blood quantum.
and they will tell you their 5th great great great grandma was Mikmaq- and are convinced that makes them Mikmaq too- even though they are white and have been white for many generations. they are not Indigenous.
